On BSU's Recruiting: "Coming out of high school, almost none of these players were very highly rated by the myriad of recruiting services that evaluate such prospects. In fact, Boise State’s last seven recruiting classes have on average been ranked 69 out of 120 Division 1 FBS institutions. During that time, the program signed a single “4 star” prospect, whereas the aforementioned Alabama Crimson Tide signed 17 prospects rated 4 stars or higher in 2013 alone.
